NY moves into SF

Both the Times and the WSJ are planning San Francisco editions, I read. Both papers currently run articles on business and culture in the Bay Area, and it appears that they would extend that coverage into formal "regional supplements" that would make them stronger competition for the San Francisco Chronicle. The WSJ has a local critic, David Littlejohn, who sometimes writes about architecture. Would the Times follow suit? It would be great if it were someone new, as the region would really benefit from some competition among its architecture critics - we need more (and different) points of view. This would also buck the current trend among the dailies of dropping critical coverage of these topics.
